"My practice is devoted to creating a reflective space where individuals can make fuller contact with who they are and actively stretch beyond the limits of what they can do alone. Attention to one's inner life requires respect and courage, and fosters greater understanding, healing, growth, and the making of a more fulfilling life. The changes my patients seek to make include several dimensions. Improvements are often sought with respect to painfully familiar habits of thought, feeling, and action (or inaction). These are often longstanding burdens that one has carried for quite some time."

"I am an experienced, licensed psychologist in private practice, and a Clinical Instructor in Psychology at Harvard Medical School. I specialize in working with adults and older adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems and/or trauma. I never underestimate the complexities of the mind, personality, and the unconscious dynamics inherent in relationships. At the same time, I feel psychotherapy should be practical and goal-oriented. I have a thoughtful, compassionate style in addressing the roots of repetitive distress, while keeping in mind that such work must also ameliorate more immediate distress so you can move forward with your life."

"Who am I? What do I want? How do I get it? These are questions that you might be asking yourself as you try to find firm ground to stand on. I can help to nurture the parts of you that are scared, hurt or angry, and restore a sense of internal balance...of belonging in the world. I work well with 20 and 30-somethings who are experiencing anxiety and sadness, and not coping well. I can help with your stress, relational disappointment, maladaptive behaviors and even trauma."

"Do you feel stuck? Anxious? Perplexed about finding your place in the world? I have 20 years experience working with individuals and couples on these issues. We all need different things in therapy to work through difficult issues. I am well versed in many theories, including EMDR, cognitive/behavioral, psychodynamic and family systems approaches. In a supportive atmosphere, I will get to know you, emphasize your strengths and resources, and then we will find the best way to address the concerns you bring with you. We will use what works for you sprinkled with a good dose of creative humor."

"It can often feel overwhelming to be proactive about making positive changes in our lives. Everyone has their own complicated life circumstances related to family, work, relationships, and mental and spiritual well being. Therapy can be an essential tool to work to un-complicate these circumstances and focus on making happiness and wellness a daily priority. I have been in this field for over 10 years and can provide a supportive and empathic environment in which we can work together on specific goals and changes for your life."

"Everybody gets stuck now and then, but sometimes it seems like we've tried everything and can't manage to shake it, or like we are working against our better interests. I work with adults who feel stuck or overwhelmed and want change. I help people integrate seemingly-conflicting impulses to find greater inner peace and connection with others. I have an active therapeutic style rooted in compassion and collaboration. I believe there are many ways to be whole and live a rich life, and I want to help you find yours."

"Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis are collaborative processes that promote self-discovery and healing through dialogue. In this work, I engage in a particular form of listening to help you find new ways of talking about your experience. In learning to articulate thoughts and feelings more fully, insights into the root causes of problems tend to emerge. This enhanced capacity for insight allows you to identify more productive responses to any challenges you face, and offers you the freedom to make life choices that reflect your authenticity and agency. For this unique process to thrive, I work to sustain deep empathic engagement in a supportive therapeutic framework."

""Some days you wake up and immediately start to worry. Nothing in particular is wrong. It's just the suspicion that forces are aligning quietly and there will be trouble." - Jenny Holzer. What starts as a small concern in our daily lives can quietly grow into something more troublesome. We put off getting help with the hope that "things will get better on their own," but sometimes they don't. Experience has taught me that most often the most difficult step to resolving any issue is the first."
